Over 30 years of retirement, Flagg would collect as much as $504,582, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Flagg received $10,605 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Flagg will have already received $32,779 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
